I guess Hillary Clinton was right They ARE an important part of our economy

Amid a surge of American kidnappings at the U.S.-Mexico border, a survivor’s story. (link)

As Mrs. FullBug said last night when we saw this story on CNN; “They’re doing the jobs that Americans won’t do.  Think of all that ransom money going uncollected.  Why can’t we just leave them alone and let them try to make a living?”  Then she called me a racist for saying that I’d rather illegals from another country not kidnap Americans and demand money for their safe return.

I want this doctor!

You're not eating enough butter, Bug.

I’ve been sick for a week.  No updates here, no work, no Bean, no anything.  Watching TV last night and I see this!  That’s why I’m still sick.  My doctor would never stroll through a hospital sucking on a lung dart.  This doctor could fix me.  This dude would “prescribe” me a shot of bourbon, a carton of Camels and tell me to pay the dame out front.

“Sorry folks, park’s closed. The moose out front shoulda told ya.”

Took this pic while scanning through my hotel TV in Portugal.  Glad they put the parental advisory sign on “Reality Porn 2”.  Sometimes you just can’t tell!

two and a half hours with 5 and no college football mentioned?!

Met 5 for lunch then across the way to Starbucks for some coffee and conversation. Snapped this pic of the fireplace while 5 hit the bathroom. The following is the list of categories on this blog. I’ve scratched through the ones we didn’t hit on. Great day!  *Bold type indicates when we spent the most time.  (not listed story of me almost killing myself with a gasoline fire in my backyard from the day before)

Wha had happened was…
What the…
What would you do?

How come when I went to Netflix this morning to see when I’m getting “The Life Aquatic”…

I got a pop-up for Netflix?  Are they making fun of me?     

Wha had happened?

I got home late last night.  Mrs. Full Bug had American Idol paused on the TIVO so I picked it up when she got to the living room.  They were talking about the charity that the show was going to raise money for this year.  Several celebs were blah blahing about something then, The King of Pop himself said something.  I thought; “Wow, they got Mike to appear.  How’d they do that?”. 

[negative]  MFB said that it was Teri Hatcher.  No way!  I rewound it 2 or 3 times.  The chick (link) that got weirded out by Jerry Seinfield when she found out that he had Elaine spy on her in the sauna for him?  The chick from that Superman show?  This is nuts.  Check this (link) and see if you get the urge to hear some Dirty Diana? 

Is Katharine Hepburn the last actress that will allow herself to age gracefully and continue to act?     

General bitching (kind of)

• Please stop with the Jim Romeism.  I just had a conversation with a friend at work where he complained about “hockey fan”.  My brother used “Vol fan thinks that…” last weekend.  *(Points added right back for making fun of UT fans though)  Local sports radio uses this stupid phrase, line, word all the time.  This coyote has fallen off of the cliff while chasing the roadrunner.  Enough already! 
• Bob Knight was fired from IU after a few decades of winning, a perfect season, National Championships, and a stellar graduation rate.  Two coaches later, they are no longer Indiana Basketball. (link)  Oh, and the man that fired Knight?  He’s now busy making sure no Indians are offended by 100 year old college mascots, Oklahoma and Ohio State are always ready to lose big BSC games, and women’s rowing teams have their sandwiches cut diagonally on long road trips since there are just too many money making men’s sports out there.
• The NFL is bulletproof, Roger Goodell is a genius, and the Big 10 is still over-rated.  Bill Belichick tapes game time play signals, pregame warm-ups, practices, his neighbors cookouts, local theatre, and whatever else he wants, Goodell has the tapes destroyed, and is called to Capital Hill to splain himself.  This splaining will be to Senator Arlen Spector.  Oh, again, this splaining will be to Senator Arlen Spector while the three ring circus pulls up to town at the same hour in the form of the Clemens hearing.  So, Goodell looks at his schedule and decided Feb 13 would be a good day to meet with Pennsylvania’s answer to Grandpa Simpson.  Oh, and the Big 10 is always over-rated.  You can never say that enough.     

I’ve got to go.  Going to get some coffee before me and Redwing fan go to our sales team’s meeting. 

10 things that people should all just admit

1. The Beatles were not that good.  Shut-up already!
2. O.J. Simpson cut his former wife’s head off.  He also killed that other dude.  If you were there that night, he would have killed you too.
3. Under all the lipstick and stupid clothes, a lot of ’80’s metal bands had some really good musicians.
4. First generation Asian people do value education more than the Americans that met them at the shore.
5. Old school rap was awful.  They’d rap about anything!  (link) 
6. New rap sucks much worse.  Was going to link but it was barely distinguishable.  I think it’s some sort of code or something. 
7. Skittles are not an acceptable substitute for M&Ms.
8. People should be allowed to run old woman who drive with little dogs in their laps off of the road.  Oh, and nobody cares about your grandchildren.
9. Nobody can tell the difference between the two Darrens on Bewitched.
10. Finally: The answer.  Mary Ann or Ginger?  Ms. Mary Anne Summers. (link)

More notes while watching American Idol (again)

• According to Paul Stafford of Crosby, TX “Simon goes down on just about everyone”
• I just saw Simon take a drink.  I only remember seeing one of them ever touch any of those cups.  Paula gave someone a drink on a show on a previous season.  It wasn’t Coke though.  It was clear.  I’m guessing vodka.     
• The dude from Mississippi (with the fingernails) sounded good.  I was surprised at the reaction.
• I have watched my last dude in a dress.  Going to bed. 

Judging by the search terms to get to the Bug…  I’m not the only 12 year old that laughed at this. 

Notes while watching American Idol tonight

• Did the dude from Egypt on American Idol just say: “I want to love a girl from the hair to the nipple.”?  [Hitting TIVO] Yes.  Yes, he did.
• MC Hammer and Randy buy their glasses at the same place.
• Milo Turk (dude with the fuzzy vest) was ripped off. A bald guy with a porn star mustache singing about not having sex?  And they are not even going to vote on him?  
• Bearded men simply do not wear enough capes.  I’m not just talking about the Dell tech support dude dressed in the crazy bikini.  I just mean that in general. 
• The chick in the gold with the big white hat looks exactly like JJ ‘Kid Dy-no-mite’ Walker.  Not that this is bad.  Just exactly like JJ, that’s all.
• I think they should let the girl with the glitter that is going to go into “actressing” and the Princess Leah chick with the polka dots wrestle for a ticket to Hollywood. 
• The cage fighting chick from Oregon and the kid with the dreads from Delaware look like an early favorites.
